Designed by Sienar Fleet Systems, the Sigma-class long-range shuttle was equipped with a Class 1.0 hyperdrive and a Class 8.0 backup, along with a navicomputer. It was also outfitted with double heavy laser cannons and could carry ten passengers in addition to a minimum crew of one. The shuttle was able to hold three months' worth of consumables, and it supported up to 200 tons of cargo.[1]

The Sigma-class was favored by Imperial officers who required a quick means of traveling throughout the galaxy and preferred to act as their own pilot or be accompanied only by a small retinue. Bureaucratic offices on planets throughout the Empire possessed a minimum of one Sigma-class shuttle in operable condition should an official need a means of transport.[1]
